Stephen Colbert is taking this week off from The Late Show, and it is not because he partied too much during Thanksgiving.
“Sorry to say that I have to cancel our shows this week. I’m sure you’re thinking,
‘Turkey overdose, Steve? Gravy boat capsize?'” he wrote. “Actually, I’m recovering from surgery for a ruptured appendix. I’m grateful to my doctors for their care and to Evie and the kids for putting up with me. Going forward, all emails to my appendix will be handled by my pancreas.”
Hopefully, he will be better soon and back at work next week.
This is not the first time he has missed a week of shows this season. He also missed a week due to COVID in October.
